It's also note on how you conduct yourself when you post here and do some "actions" with other forum members. Please follow these rules in a more friendly, intelligent, kindly, mature, nicely, politely, respectfully, and a mere trustworthy way or you will suffer the consequences that we have for you. If you EVER disobeyed or break ANY of these rules multiple times, the following results will be as planned from these offenses below:
- First Offense: You will be given a warning in your private message box.
- Second Offense: You will be given another warning in your private message box AND your e-mail account.
- Third Offense: You will be temporarily banned for seven days / one week.
- Fourth Offense: You will be temporarily banned for one month.
- Fifth Offense: You will be eternally forever be permanently banned from this forum community. If you evade your bans, we will be contacting your Internet Service Provider regarding your tentative offenses towards our rules being broken.
Remember, watch out for that and respect our forum rules. Thanks a lot for reading this important part! Now, onto the forum rules themselves below:
Forum Rules:
1.) Huge But Very Important Rule: Forum Takeovers + Cracking / Hacking! Do NOT in any circumstances take over the forum community, nor crack / hack our forum community. We have this experience on other Gaming For Consoles forums before. Do not get cocky and don't suffer the trouble for us! Please, do not try your crazy stunt attempts in this forum community. Your life is indeed failure if you do, and it is your OWN fault that you did, so overall, you have no life whatsoever. Period! If you ever, ever, EVER takeover the forum by all means, you will be given severe but strict consequences and you will be permanently banned. Absolute no questions on that! Also the use of putting viruses, trojans, worms, etc, into our forum community is strictly prohibited here! Thank you!
2a.) Another Huge But Important Rule: Spamming! We do not tolerate any types of spamming in our forum community of ANY kind whatsoever. This includes one-worded posts, three-lettered or less posts, posts with all smilies, posts with all links, posts with flood lines of any letters or smilies, and many more! Those things related to them will be edited or deleted by one of the staff members INSTANTLY! We want to have a cleaner forum community with intelligent but mature members to have. So again, for the love of God, avoid the spam please! Try to follow all instructions and rules directed to you by one of the staff members, so that you won't be warned for spamming. So one more time, do NOT use any forms of spam or you will suffer the consequences. Also, don't spam as that just makes the staff's job time much consuming as it is. If you break this rule, your first offense will be a warning in your private message box. Your second offense will be a warning in your private message box and your e-mail account. Your third offense will be a one week temporarily ban. Your fourth offense will be a one month temporarily ban. And your fifth offense will be a permanent ban from then on.
Remember, if you want to spam your butts out, the Spam Related sub-board found over at the main Off-Topic Discussion board is there for you.
(We won't list you the examples of spam-like words. You do not need these kinds of examples of spamming, you should all know these methods by heart right now. If you don't remember them, grow up then!)
Note To SergeIM - On Spamming: As the creator / founder / owner of your own forum community, Gaming For Consoles, on your best, try to describe your situation and explain your theories. Going one worded posts all the time "might" get your posts deleted or edited. But it all depends on the punishment, so to speak, so please remember to post carefully at all costs, and remember, be yourself and stop annoying other members when they have any reasons to make you stop. Thanks a lot!
2b.) Very Important Rule: Off-Topic! Do NOT try and go way off-topic too much in certain threads of the boards in this forum community numerous times. If you feel that you want to go off-topic, TRY and limit it and STAY on topic. If you feel that you want to discuss that specific topic, then please make a new thread at that specific board for your proper benefits. Thank you! Also, flagrant off topic posts will also be deleted (like some random person advertising for his forum in an area of a thread in a certain board) and irrelevant Sergeim-like spam posts will be deleted too right off the bat! If you continue on going off-topic excessively, you may encounter a warning.
2c.) Minor But Very Relevant Rule: The Use Of Very Proper English With The Form Of Grammar, Punctuation & Spelling! Please attempt on communicate in proper English with proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling, TO ALL POSTS you post in threads while on a particular forum community / message board. Try your hardest on making proper correct posts and be constructive with your posts too. Proper grammar, punctuation and spelling in your posts is NEEDED in this world. The English dictionary says it all! Like, I don't want to see this crap like, "hey all plz to meet u i hope u have tonz of fun in heres". Like hello?! This is unacceptable use of posting. TYPE properly, geniuses. I mean, you're not eight or something, are you? Come on! Get with the program people! You should all know better and you're old enough!
3.) Still Important Rule: The Creation Of Topics! When you create threads; an example would be if you're creating a thread asking people, "What their favourite console is", please include it as your thread title and include your choices as well. It helps to add discussion, opinions, points, and everything else to the topic itself.
4.) Serious Rule: Nudity / Pornography / Sexual Content! Pretty self-explanatory. No use of any nudity / pornography and the posting of any sexual picture content of any kind ARE NOT allowed, right here, at Gaming For Consoles! This is strictly prohibited anywhere around the areas of our forum community. If you posted an inappropriate picture once, you will be giving a warning in your private message box on the first offense. If you posted another inappropriate picture twice, you are giving another warning in your private message box and your e-mail account on the second offense. If you posted yet again another inappropriate picture three times, you are automatically and permanently banned from Gaming For Consoles. No questions about it. Don't even discuss it with the staff members about it. Again, we don't need unnecessary images of naked people. Do it on that site and drool if you want to. We don't care either, but not in our community. Thank you for this important matter in our hands.
5a.) Important But Very Serious Rule: Flaming! Reduce the use of flaming, if possible. This means no disrespecting / insult or making any abusive remarked comments to THAT particular forum member you seek. Also, try not to argue negatively with THAT particular member at ALL times, just to get their attention all around the forum community. It's not allowed. But flaming is allowed "lightly" in threads + posts and towards certain friends. Doing that will result in these offenses. Your first offense will be a warning in your private message box. Your second offense will be a warning in your private message box and your e-mail account. Your third offense will be a one week temporarily ban. Your fourth offense will be a one month temporarily ban. And your fifth offense will be a permanent ban from then on. Flaming towards sergeim, the forum creator / founder / owner, in particular, is, well, you decide on that. Not us. Because he can't get over the facts that he runs a poor managed forum community. Seriously though. Hmm... maybe flaming sergeim is a bad idea, after all!
However, regarding about flaming, it's slightly allowed, but only "lightly" in threads + posts and towards certain friends. Remember though, the Flame/Vent Related sub-board found over at the main Off-Topic Discussion board is there for you.
5b.) Trolling! Absolutely no trolling! That means no disrespecting to EVERY SINGLE MEMBER or to ALL MEMBERS of the forum community. That's not allowed either.
5c.) The Form Of Any Arguments! Arguments in debates though, are a way different story. If you want to vent your furious, mad, or whatever frustrations you may have, right out of your system, then please, do that in our modified/updated Flame/Vent Related sub-board found over at the main Off-Topic Discussion board for your own "extreme" benefits. Good Luck!
6.) Racism / Sexism / Prejudice / Bashing Remarks Towards Forum Members On Nation & Religious Beliefs! Absolutely no forms of racism, sexism, prejudice remarks that includes bashing towards any nation and religious beliefs towards forum members. None of these things will be allowed and it will NOT be tolerated here by any means. Inappropriate use of disrespecting the member's nation, religious beliefs, being racist, being sexist, any forms of prejudice, or any forms of bashing, towards any forum member is strictly prohibited. If you get involved being one of these, then, doing that will result in these offenses. Your first offense will be a warning in your private message box. Your second offense will be a warning in your private message box and your e-mail account. Your third offense will be a one week temporarily ban. Your fourth offense will be a one month temporarily ban. And your fifth offense will be a permanent ban from then on.
7.) Multiple Posting! Reduce the use of multiple posting. Something like double/triple/quadruple posting and over is not allowed. So don't attempt to post more than once in a row, unless you have to double post in a certain thread in a certain board. The "Edit" button is there for you for your own use. Don't use it and double post will be treated as just basically spam.
8.) Bumping Threads! Reduce the use of bumping threads. You can bump a certain thread in around and above 24 hours after the last time you posted. If you post it under 24 hours, you will receive a warning if continued. However, you can bump your own threads, but in CERTAIN areas of the forum community.
9.) Posting Threads In The Incorrect Categories / Sections! Don't try and post your own thread in the "wrong" category/section around the forums inside the boards/sub-boards themselves right here! Try not to do this stunt, or else, one of your threads that was posted in that "incorrect" category will be moved to the right category, but please, save us the trouble and post the threads in the right category/section in the near future. But, if you do this excessively many times, you will may encounter a warning. Thank you!
10.) Cursing / Cussing / Swearing Privileges! Please try to reduce any form or use of cursing / cussing / swearing here at Gaming For Consoles if you can. Do not overdo it too much. We want to make this forum community a family-friendly one. It's a privilege to swear, not a right, you know. Keep that in mind.
(We won't list you the examples of swear words. You do not need these kinds of examples of swearing, you should all know these methods by heart right now. If you don't remember them, grow up then!)
11.) Respecting ALL "FORUM" Members Around The Forum Community Here! Remember, it is a right to respect each and every forum member you see in this forum community, so make them feel welcomed and be the one to have their trust.
12.) Respecting ALL "Staff" Members Around The Forum Community Here! (It Includes Regular Board / Forum Moderators, Global/Super Moderators, Co-Administrators & The Creator/Founder/Owner Himself, You Guessed It, Sergeim!) All right now, the staff members are here to help you with anything that you might need, depending on what you say to them if it's a positive or a negative report of some kind. They're also here to do their jobs as well. So treat them with mutual respect! If you disobey, flame, impersonate, or even taunt a staff member, that particular staff member may act as how he/she feels, meaning it could result in warnings from your private message box and your e-mail account. The worse thing to come is a permanent ban!
13.) Advertising! Use proper use of advertising please! Only advertise your websites and/or forums in the main Site & Forum Advertisements board! But please though, you are required and get at least 50 posts to advertise your stuff in Gaming For Consoles, but that post increment amount might change, depending on what it is, or when I, Acer changes them. Thank you! If you advertise elsewhere around the forum, the use of spamvertising isn't allowed. Registering just to advertise right away isn't allowed either. Breaking this rule will result in these offenses. Your first offense will be a warning in your private message box. Your second offense will be a warning in your private message box and your e-mail account. Your third offense will be a one week temporarily ban. Your fourth offense will be a one month temporarily ban. And your fifth offense will be a permanent ban from then on.
14.) Bypassing / Evading The Banning System! Don't get cocky and DON'T bypass or evade our "secure" banning system here at our forum community, Gaming For Consoles! If you do, you will be banned. If continued, then the permanent sticks. No further questions or comments will be asked. You will only get either second and/or third chances. That's it! No more! Also, any duplicate / multiple accounts you may have will be permanently banned, and even your main primary account as well.
15.) Understanding Our Forum Rules! Make sure you know every use of our Forum Rules as usual! As planned, every single one of you is expected to FOLLOW and OBEY ALL of our Forum Rules that we provided for you here. Make use of this forum community for your own benefits and do NOT abuse them at ALL costs.
16.) Enjoying & Having Fun In Our Forum Community! Please enjoy our forum community and have fun posting around, right here, at Gaming For Consoles! We're here to help you with any issues you may have, protect you, serve you, taking good care of you, and all that, so don't forget about us. So as always, do not hesitate to ask. Thanks and see you around, ladies and gentlemen!
And many many other forum rules to name! I'll add more or even update some of the Forum Rules sooner or later! Thank you for your time!
We have our chat box rules as well, if we implemented one, that is, so you're also expected to follow them too! Here it is below:
Chat Box/Shout Box Rules (If We Have It):
1.) When chatting on the chat box/shout box, you must obey all of these chat rules we have implemented up for you. If you don't obey them, the first time around it will result in you being temporarily kicked. Abuse it again for the second time, you will be given a longer timeout. Three times the charm and you will suffer the consequences by being banned off the chat.
2.) Every single rule is applied here. That means all forum rules are applied here if you don't get the former.
3.) Please enjoy the use of our chat box/shout box features that we may have up for you, if we have them, that is! Do not abuse it now! Have Fun!
And many many other chat rules to name! I'll add more or even update some of the Chat Rules sooner or later! Thank you for your time!
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is I, Acer, and YOU KNOW already that I'm back, better + improved than ever! Even newer updated rules will be granted by yours truly, Acer, so keep on checking for new rule updates and stand by for them as well! Thanks!
RULES UPDATE: The Forum + Chat Rules have NOW been updated with new "chat" and "forum" rules being added, updated, and everything else related to it. Remember though, ALL of these rules HAVE ALREADY BEEN enforced, so take note of that! As always, check out the new and improved rules baby! WOO!
So, in closing, follow these important rules. Take note that if YOU do break ANY of the following, the staff members has the right to act as how he/she wishes. Meaning if that particular staff member decides either on a warning, a temporarily ban, or even a permanent ban, IF necessary if you break one of our rules. But, the broken rule is only worth a warning. So abusing the rule again and a seven day ban/one week ban is issued. Maybe even a one month ban. Overall, the staff member just might be able do that, so please be careful around here, should you break any of these valuable rules! Thank you for that!
